Well, I still use Acrobat Reader on some machines and it works... slow, but fine. What you have to do is, telling acroread to output directly to Postscript. This will not attempt to open a graphic display. The output changed slightly from acroread 3.x to 4.x and the hardcoded values in the ht://Dig parser do not match the newer versions (to produce the correct input for the ht://Dig parser). Try "acroread --help" for available options. However, acroread is *slow* (especially 5.x) during startup. If you have a lot of smaller sized documents, I'd rather use xpdf for conversion. If you have bleeding edge documents (i.e. generated with the latest version of the distiller) it might not convert everything - you should test it in this case. hth, Torsten -- InWise - Wirtschaftlich-Wissenschaftlicher Internet Service GmbH Waldhofstra�e 14 Tel: +49-4101-403605 D-25474 Ellerbek Fax: +49-4101-403606 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.inwise.de ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
